If you’re tempted to turn MTG into a hero over her falling out with Trump, please check yourself.
She may be at odds with him on the heinous Epstein debacle, but she’s still MTG with the same hateful values she’s always had. Please don’t rationalize levels of Republican awful.

Did you know DFW airport is jointly owned and governed by the City of Fort Worth and the City of Dallas?
Workers from the airport came to Fort Worth City Council on 11/4 asking for a livable wage. Pay starts as low as $10 an hour. We can and should do better.
